- Inscription
- There came an archimage, one deft of hand Who made the moon-faced dame bemused with wine, Then pierced her side while she was all unconscious, And having turned the infant's head aright Delivered her uninjured. None had seen A thing so strange. The babe was like a lion, A hero tall and fair to look upon.
